Thomas Tuchel 'wants PSG star Presnel Kimpembe to replace Antonio Rudiger at Chelsea' as he begins to prepare for life without the German international

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel wants to bring in PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe to replace Antonio Rudiger at Stamford Bridge, according to reports.

Rudiger's future has been the subject of speculation in recent months, with the German international's contract at Chelsea set to expire at the end of the season.

A number of European clubs are reportedly interested in the centre-back, including Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
